Historic Mystic Maritime House - 5 min Walk to Downtown Restaurants and Seaport

Large and beautiful house rental in Mystic within walking distance to downtown restaurants, shopping, Mystic River. The house is walkable to Mystic Seaport and a 5 min drive to Mystic Aquarium. The spectacular 1869 house with large cobblestone driveway and spacious backyard features top-of-the-line modern finishes while maintaining the historic charm of Mystic. The 6-bedroom home is a perfect house rental for families or groups who want to experience the best of New England in a prime location.

Stunning historical 1869 Second Empire style home in the heart of Mystic and steps to the Mystic River and historic drawbridge. This beautifully restored Victorian-era home is the perfect mixture of modern updates and preserved history from the detailed architecture of the Mansard roof and dormers to the quartz counters and stainless steel appliances in the kitchen. Admire the gorgeous hardwood floors throughout the house as you walk from room to room; to the right of the foyer is the large living room with two doorways for easy flow into the kitchen and breakfast area. The bright dining room features ornate trim and floor-to-ceiling windows. An additional spacious library/home office offers another space for gathering with family and friends, and features sliding doors to the back deck that overlooks the luscious grass and garden of the large private backyard. A half-bathroom and laundry room complete the main floor. Upstairs there is the primary bedroom suite with a full bathroom and dressing room/walk-in closet, two more bedrooms and another full marble bathroom. On the third floor you will find another three bedrooms and a fully renovated windowed marble bathroom.

The idyllic location is walking distance (you can follow the sidewalks right from the front door!) to the shops and restaurants of downtown Mystic and access to the Mystic River and marinas.

My family and I have been coming to Mystic for over 10 years and renting properties around town, but I can undoubtedly confirm that this property tops all others. The external aesthetic gives you that wonderful sigh as you approach the home, and the interior carries that through beautifully with it's attention to detail through the home to stay true to that classic new england style. The open concept, backyard, porch, and kitchen layout make it ideal for getting a big group together to play games, cook, or lounge where you never feel separated. Additionally, having 4 bathrooms and one on each floor makes a big difference when in a large group. The walk to town along the river, beautiful aesthetic, and logistical layout make this one a winner. I don't plan to rent anywhere else.
